Tayla Mae walks ARIA red carpet, rubs shoulders with stars

TOOWOOMBA'S Tayla Crotty was able to rub shoulders with some of the best artists in the Australian music industry when she attended the ARIA awards last night.

Ms Crotty, who goes by the name Tayla Mae, is an artist who has been thrown into the musical spotlight after recently being announced as the winner of The ShareSpace.

She won a global song-writing trip and signed with Sony Music Entertainment.

Ms Crotty will soon start working with and being mentored by some of the world's best performers and producers and last night, walking the red carpet, she got the first taste of what her future could hold.

Tayla Crotty attended the Aria Awards on Tuesday night.

Ms Crotty was even styled by British celebrity stylist Fleur Egan, who also dressed The Veronicas.

This new journey is due to Tayla's hard work over the past few years as well as support from her fans.

She won the online competition, The ShareSpace, after competing against seven other aspiring singers and sharing performances on her social media pages.

An algorithm collated data from the published content including likes, comments, views, shares and streams, to determine which of the singers had the best engagement over 30 days.

Ms Crotty said the support she received was overwhelming and she was ecstatic about her bright future.
